Browns sign LB Ray-Ray Armstong to bolster depth

Two days after he was waived off injured reserve by the New York Giants, linebacker Ray-Ray Armstrong has been signed by the Cleveland Browns.

Armstrong immediately jumps into the Cleveland defense to help bolster the depth at the injury-depleted LB position. He’s a 6-year veteran who initially entered the league with the Rams. That experience gives him familiarity with Browns defensive coach Gregg Williams, who served in the same role for St. Louis at that time.

He was on the Giants IR for a concussion suffered in Week 6. The team offered him an injury settlement to free him to sign with another team. Cleveland will be Armstrong’s fifth NFL team since the middle of the 2014 season.

To make room, the Browns waived LB Xavier Woodson-Luster.
